Here are the starting lineups for the two teams who will kick-off Saturday’s Club World Cup actions.
Niko Kovač wasn’t satisfied by his team’s goalless draw with Fluminense. The Croat makes three changes as the Black and Yellows are ready for their second group match at the TQL Stadium. New signing Jobe Bellingham and Felix Nmecha will start in midfield, while Yan Couto is preferred in place of Julian Ryerson.
Sundowns were the first African team to win a match in this new Club World Cup format when they narrowly beat Ulsan HD. Their Portuguese coach Miguel Cardoso decides to only make one change as Tashreeq Matthews replaces Brazilian attacker Arthur Sales.
